PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Application server version
6.0.2 users.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When a non-clustered application
server is converted into a cluster,
the resources defined at the server
scope are not copied into the cluster.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When a non-clustered application server is converted into a
cluster, the resources defined at the server scope are
supposed to be copied into the cluster. So the individual
server-scoped resources are converted to cluster-scoped
resources. We don't give end users a choice in the matter -
all of the server scoped resources are converted because
that individual server is about to disappear and become the
first cluster member anyway. These resources are not being
copied so ultimately they get lost while upgrdaing to cluster.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Code has been corrected so that resources are now properly      
copied.                                                         
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion       
in fixpack 6.0.2.17.
